Quinlan: McGahan a tough act to follow

Munster legend Alan Quinlan has warned the province they’ll have a big void to fill following the return of head coach Tony McGahan to Australia at the end of the season.

Quinlan heaped praise on McGahan yesterday for the “huge contribution” he has made to Munster rugby since his arrival here just over six years ago.

“There’s no doubt he will be a hard act to follow; apart from hiscontribution as assistant and head coach, he put a very good programme in place the last few years to allow for the development of home-produced players,” said Quinlan.
